Given a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g$ over the complex numbers, Torelli's thoerem asserts that the pair $(J(C),W^{g-1})$ determines $C$, where $W^{g-1}$ is an image of the $g-1$st symmetric power of $C$ inside the Jacobian under…

We study two canonically defined admissible normal functions on the moduli space of smooth genus 4 algebraic curves including the Ceresa normal function. In particular, we study the vanishing criteria for the Griffiths infinitesimal…

Let C be a generic smooth curve of genus g\geqslant 4. We study normal functions and infinitesimal invariants associated to Ceresa cycles W_{k}-W_{k}^{-}, k=2,...,g-2. We show how they can be obtained from the normal function associated to…

Cubic forms $C$ are constructed in the work of R. Aguilar, M. Green and P. Griffiths to establish the generic global Torelli theorem for Fano-K3 pairs $(X,Y)$, where $X: F=0$ is a cubic threefold in $\mathbb{P}^4$ and $Y\in|-K_X|$ is an…

Let $G$ be a simple simply-connected connected linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. We proved a $2$-birational Torelli theorem for the moduli space of semistable principal $G$-bundles over a smooth curve of genus $\geq 3$, which says…

Following previous work, we continue the study of infinitesimal methods in mixed Hodge theory. In the first part, inspired by the deformation theory of curves on Calabi-Yau threefolds, we study deformations of smooth $\mathbb{Q}$-log…

For a polarized abelian variety $(X,L)$, Z. Jiang and G. Pareschi introduce an invariant $\beta(X,L)$, called the basepoint-freeness threshold. Using this invariant, we show that a general polarized abelian variety $(X,L)$ of dimension $g$…

We show that two smooth projective curves C_1 and C_2 of genus g which have isomorphic symmetric products are isomorphic unless g=2. This extends a theorem of Martens.

In the classical case of irreducible smooth algebraic curves every genus $2$ curve is hyperelliptic, or in other words there is a complete linear series $g_2^1$ on them. On the other hand if $g > 2$, then a generic smooth curve of genus $2$…

We study the Torelli morphism from the moduli space of stable curves to the moduli space of principally polarized stable semi-abelic pairs. We give two characterizations of its fibers, describe its injectivity locus, and give a sharp upper…

The article proves the Infinitesimal Torelli theorem for surfaces subject to the following conditions: 1) the canonical bundle of a surface is ample and generated by its global sections, 2)the geometric genus $p_g \geq 4$, 3) the…

Let $X$ be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve, of genus at least three, defined over the field of real numbers. Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group, defined over $\mathbb R$, such that $G$ is nonabelian…

We study sections of the relative Picard bundle of a family of curves of genus $g \geq 2$ through the rank of the associated normal function. Using Griffiths' formula for the infinitesimal invariant and higher Schiffer variations, we…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$. Jacobi's inversion theorem states that the Abel-Jacobi map $\varphi : X^{(g)} \longrightarrow J(X)$ is surjective, where $X^{(g)}$ is the symmetric product of $X$ of degree $g$ and $J(X)$…

Let $g \geq 2$ and let the Torelli map denote the map sending a genus $g$ curve to its principally polarized Jacobian. We verify the well known fact that the map induced on tangent spaces by the Torelli map is dual to the multiplication map…

Consider a smooth irreducible Hodge generic curve $S$ defined over $\bar{\Q}$ in the Torelli locus $T_g\subset \mathcal{A}_g$. We establish Zilber-Pink-type statements for such curves depending on their intersection with the boundary of the…

We prove and generalize an observation of Green and Griffiths on the infinitesimal form of the Abel-Jacobi map. As an application, we prove that the infinitesimal form of a conjecture by Griffiths and Harris is true.

We relate the torsion part of the Abel-Jacobi kernel in the Griffiths group of 1-cycles to a birational invariant analogous to the degree 4 unramified cohomology and an invariant associated to the generalized Hodge conjecture in degree…

Given any irreducible smooth complex projective curve $X$, of genus at least $2$, consider the moduli stack of vector bundles on $X$ of fixed rank and determinant. It is proved that the isomorphism class of the stack uniquely determines the…

In this paper we prove that the Prym map, from the space of double coverings of a curve of genus g with r branch points to the moduli space of abelian varieties, is generically injective if r>6 and g>1, r=6 and g>2, r=4 and g>4, r=2 and…
